Big fan of George Washington.

He organized a successful rebellion against the most powerful empire in the world.

The Brits who called him traitor grew to respect him. And the state he founded eventually exceeded its progenitor, as the sun set on the British Empire.

Good role model!

More seriously, I’m actually writing on this topic but let me offer a few quick remarks.

First, blockchains are digital governments. They provide property rights, contract laws, and verifiable identities across legacy borders. That is *intrinsically* political: it replaces states.

Second, the “collapse/destruction of society as we know it” has occurred many times through history.

Russians, Germans, Chinese, Indians — all endured such collapses in the 20th century. Most people did! Even Americans experienced Great Depression, two World Wars, and Cold War.

Long-term stability is unusual.

In Poland in XX century alone we had:

1900-1918: Russian/Austrian/German occupation 
1918-1926: Parliamentary democracy
1926-1939: Presidential-authoritarian system
1939-1945: German occupation
1945-1989: Soviet Union occupation
1989-2000: Democratic capitalism
